After a number of Jews were enslaved in Egypt and once freed, Moses helped them escape through the dessert and after over 40 years of traveling in the dessert they finally made it to the promise land by Yahweh which was Canaan. The struggle to get to their God’s promise land makes it a holy place. And finally for Muslims, the Holy land contains some Muslim Mosques and the Dome of the rock where it is believed that this is where Muhammad was ascended into heaven. And that makes this one of the holiest places for Muslims. The three major monotheistic religions are sometimes described as branches of the same family tree.
The causes for the fall of Rome can be divided into four categories: political, military, economic and social. Using the information you have read, identify one cause in each category and explain how it contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire. Military: Around the 4th century AD, the Roman military had become significantly feebler, mostly to the barbarians who had been attempting to breach Rome's borders for years.

B0. The Impact of the Crusades 10. The Crusades had a limited impact on the Muslim world. More significant was that the Crusaders ended Europe’s intellectual isolation when Arabic and Greek manuscripts gave Europeans their first access to the work of the ancient Greek philosophers. 20.
The Ancient Greeks continue to influence our lives today in three prominent ways: architecture, politics, and medicine. In present day, Western architecture owes a heavy debt to the classical styles of Ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks started building temples of worship to their gods at about 600 B.C. One defining feature in these temples was the distinctive column styles known as Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. These can be most easily defined and identified by each column’s capital.
Thesis: Before the problem of the Armenian genocide the Armenian and the Turk lived in harmony as second class citizen. A century ago the Armenian genocide was one of the most massive and horrific time there ever was. Around in 1915, the Turkish government wanted to get rid of all Armenians in three steps, as this go on the Armenian race was on a thin line onto extermination.

Life before the Genocide: Although Armenians were second class citizens in the Ottoman Empire; they lived in relative harmony with Turks for centuries before the forces of nationalism transformed the situation.

Ankara had been one of the important settlements in the Byzantine Empire. The significance that it had in that time period can be related to location of Ankara or as it’s called in Byzantine period: Ancyra. Ancyra was one of the four stops which lay in the roads used for military and economic causes. Byzantine Empire used Ancyra as base for their military and economic benefits; therefore, structuring of the city didn’t become more of an issue when it’s considered with other significant cities of Byzantine such as Nicomedia, Nicaea and Constantinople. Instead, they preferred to transform buildings which are built by Roman Empire and Arabs in order to their needs.
